It's fine, we'll just move Schar into midfield.....

There was always that distinction in my circle of mates.

We always understood it both were from behind but backscuttling was anal.

The McTominay stuff is never going away is it?

Was he injury prone prior to last season?

Not at all.

Probably will when Fulham sign him.

 

Besides which, I think many realise he's not as bad a player as they first thought.

[Sibierski]

Depends how you play him. You can get away more in a lower half team by coasting and scoring at time, not so much at top end when you actually need some passing ability and discipline.

[Pilko]

Get the feeling if he signs for Fulham they'll play him further forwards and he'll be like a modern day Kevin Nolan type who'll bag 8-12 goals but still manage to look shite most weeks.

[Kid Icarus]

Longstaff's output last season despite not being great definitely makes me understand how McTominay would be useful a lot more.

Aye, until you want to get to the next level and actually have footballers with genuine proper playing ability on the ball.

Our links to him are irritating because I don’t see how he improves us in any way, and every time we’re linked with him the price tag quotes is higher than what we paid for Bruno.

if he was a £10m squad filler I’d have no issue with the links. 

[Whitley mag]

After the PSR debacle you could put money on McTominay being linked again.

[papo]

We should have just done an Ashworth-Mctominay swap…

 

Anyway I doubt Manu want to negotiate in way with us after the saga so we can write Mctominay coming here off for sure.

[Dr Jinx]

I’d say the same going the other direction too, no way we’ll be doing anything to strengthen their finances.

[Whitley mag]

Nee chance where signing that plank we’ve got money to spend and think we’ll make 3 big splashes.

 

Thiaw

Ederson

Gibbs-White

 

Delighted with first 2 but would prefer someone with a bit more craft/guile on the right if honest.

 

Wilson staying and we’ll have to make do with the dodgy Greek back up in nets, but stay injury free and good enough to challenge for top 4.

Personally think we will spend on a CB and RW and that will be us done. I’d be happy with that as well, as long as they are top quality.

Aye, nothing wrong with quality over quantity. We aren't far away from being a good side and won't need to worry about depth as much next season.

You wanna play the rumors game motherfucker?

[Thumbheed]

Willock, Longstaff and Miley are too much of drop off in quality from Bruno and Joe, with Tonali still unproven. (Miley still a way to go to fulfill his obvious potential)

 

Going from Big Joe to Willock is like going from Botman to Burn. Good back up but not the quality we need to maintain a high level for the sustained period we'd need imo.

[Vinny Green Balls]

People still somehow confuse Willock’s obvious quality with not having seen him play much in a year. Still boggles the mind.

Couldn't disagree more here, Willock is quality imo.

Don't think I have, I don't think he could take any of the top teams up a level but the likes of Joe could. Still a very good player and contributed in the same way Longstaff did in the CL year and whilst I rate him higher than Longstaff their impact at their best has been almost the same.

 

Have to bare in mind Isak, Gordon and Bruno are the level we're aiming for. There's no reason therefore why we still can't go after that calibre of player in every postion. 

 

Tino and Barnes being good examples of players signed who would be good enough for a starting postion inspite of having similar quality players in front of them.
